Stadium Fitness Yoga

It’s an overall great place to practice, however I didn’t feel always feel the same level of peace, release, and burn after each class/​instructor. I’m certainly a fan of vinyasa flow and love that each class will repeat the same pattern of poses in order for each student to at least practice, perfect, and feel the movement. Not all the instructors have seemed to demonstrate the pose for you which can be a bit distracting since some of the times I have looked around to the other students to see if they had any idea what the instructor said – unfortunately we were all on the same clueless boat. Besides this, all the poses presented at each class have never been repetitive, and it kept me wanting to come back for what else there is to learn. As the other reviews have mentioned, I do love the moderate heat temperature, and it’s no where near suffocating, but just enough to drip some body sweat.

Obsessed with this place!
First off, I love that it’s 85 degrees cus I feel like I can really get into the moves and learn more than with a 100+ degree studio. I definitely have progressed faster at this studio, as opposed to other studios I’ve been to. At first I was unsure whether I liked there being no mirror, but I actually love it! Instead of focusing on the mirror I get to really feel the moves and focus on myself. The instructors are amazing and I love the longer 70 minute classes because of the «play time», allowing us to work on the things we need help on with a teacher’s guidance. The room is huge so there is always ample space, instead of smaller studios where you’re right next to someone. Took a class last night and my abs are killing me, yay! I haven’t been able to take all the classes so I don’t know all the instructors, but I love Amy and Marks classes! Highly recommend! :D

Although it took me a while to find this place, I certainly have not felt more welcome anywhere else in the LA area. The instructors were challenging, but supportive. I felt so welcomed and at home. The heat was just enough to keep me sweating without creating nausea. :) I’ve tried a bunch of studios in the area but this is the only one I actually bought a multi-​class package because I know I’ll go back. Highly recommended!

I have been going here for over a year and love it. I have tried the vinyasa classes and yin classes. Vinyasa is my go to during my usual exercise routine, but I found the yin yoga especially helpful about a week after running a half-​marathon.
I have tried multiple instructors and Hannah and Audrey are my favorites. I really like that Audrey includes scents at the end of most of her classes (if you want) to help you calm down and center yourself.
I did not like the style of Mark’s classes (he kept the lights on and had high energy music playing), but he did an excellent job moving the class through poses and adjusting to the needs of the students.
I recommend this studio to students of all levels!

So I decided to give them another chance since I was on the ClassPass anyways.
The class was AWESOME. The instructor was amazing, but the reason for my update is that the owner was there and stopped me before I left and asked me about my previous review. He actually took the time to explain why there aren’t any mirrors and the reason left my jaw on the ground. So they don’t just do yoga; they actually work with Autistic kids, and the kids would get a little spooked if there were mirrors in the rooms. I really appreciated the reasoning and the owner’s time to explain that to me.
I’ll definitely be going back!

yes, yes, a million times yes!
number one yoga studio in pasadena!
hot vinyasa yoga at this location is fun, attentive, unpretentious, and provides such a great mind/​body workout in only an hour. i leave drenched in sweat and yet also blissfully relaxed. even though the space looks unassuming from the outside, inside the studio has high-​ceilings, clean and soft cork floor, and peaceful vibes. the instructors are all lovely: smart, welcoming, generous, and provide a creative and challenging series of asanas. the room gets pretty hot, so make sure to bring a towel or you will be sliding around on your mat.

I love Stadium Fitness Yoga! I’ve been practicing yoga at this studio consistently for the past two years. When I showed up for my first class I had very limited yoga knowledge and had only taken one hot yoga class previously. Katie welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. I don’t remember much of that first class other than I left dripping in sweat felt absolutely amazing. I was hooked and immediately signed up for my first unlimited month of classes and haven’t looked back since. I will admit I’m a creature of comfort and stick mostly to Katie and Hannah’s classes and they are both wonderful. I have sporadically attended other instructors’ classes and have never had a bad experience. Classes are intense and rigorous yet somehow also relaxing and meditative. Once you get the hang of the poses and the flow of the class it’s like a moving meditation where you can get way from the world and even your own mind and simply focus on breathing and moving for one hour. The owners Jodie and David are so friendly and kind, they are the heart of this studio and have known me (and everyone else who comes to class regularly) by name since day one. Everyone here is so welcoming and supportive, it’s a pleasure to come to class and a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great, no-​hassle low key yoga spot, whether it’s your first class or your 500^th class, you will not regret it.

It’s taken me a while to find a yoga studio I love! This place is quiet and calming. Katie, Emily, and Hannah are wonderful instructors!

I really enjoy coming here, the atmosphere is wonderful for yoga and the classes are never jam packed. All of the staff I have encountered are very friendly and positive. The classes are a good challenge and I always feel great after class :]

The BEST yoga spot in Pasadena.
Hot yoga with Katie is AWESOME. Restorative with Molly is equally AWESOME.
The space is really beautiful, peaceful, warm, and relaxing. The space helps you breath. Everyone is nice and supportive. The teachers are excellent.
They have mats for new people (or $ 2 if you just want to keep renting a mat). They also make it easy to safely leave all your stuff in a cubby, as they lock the door when the class starts. They have nice, cold, filtered, free water, too! The bathroom is quite nice as well.
The schedule is great for morning/​evening and everything in between.
Great place!

Very beautiful yoga studio. I’m always iffy about doing yoga, esp heated yoga, on a rug. They do heated vinyasa flow in this high ceiling room with cork floors. Feels much cleaner! I haven’t tried heated yoga before, but now that I know they have cork floors, I may consider trying it out on hair wash day!

I had just went hiking earlier the morning, and went to the evening Restorative class taught by Karen. Man oh man, did it sure help me with my stress reduction and calmed my mind and tension with these few exercises that were so simple or I wouldn’t have thought of before. For this class, it was my first time I had to use the blocks, blanket and pillow to help for the exercise.
Atmosphere: walking into the studio, the tone of the lighting and colors and placement made it so welcoming. For this class on Sunday, it was a full-​house! It was great seeing everyone walked out so calm and relaxed.
Exercises: All the mental calmness to just occasionally stay still and quiet and focus on your breathing and slower my breathing helped released a lot of pains or thoughts I had. (I even fell asleep during one of the poses, and it felt amazing!)
Thank you so much Karen! I will be coming back :)

Wow, restorative yoga on Sunday’s, I’m restored. The most heavenly hour and 15 minutes of my week. My body pains have subsided. Shoulder pain is gone and my lower back isn’t as tight. Great instructor. Knowledgeable, calm and very helpful!

When you walk in there are cubbies for you to put your personal items. There’s a clipboard for sign in. And get ready to sweat and meditate.
Love that it’s not too slow which is what Vinyasa Flow is. If you are a beginner like me, don’t worry the instructors are really good at making sure you are in the right form. The plus is that this place is clean, big, and lights are dim. Extra plus that it’s heated and not too hot like bikram. I usually can’t stand Bikram but here I can bare.
There’s a parking lot and the first class is free.

really really nice studio!
I took a class with Katie today and loved it! She’s very instructive and the class got my heart racing but I didn’t feel like I was gonna die. I also love that she goes around and massages you !!! FEELS SO GOOD !!! I do wish the room was a little hotter though, but overall really great class.
1ST CLASS IS FREE TOO!

Loved it!

I wish I could say Stadium Fitness is my best kept secret but too late for that! I’ve already referred multiple people here and they all love it. What’s not to love though?
The instructors are all amazing and have really taken my yoga practice up a few notches. The owners are also welcoming and soso nice! I’ve tried a number of other studios all around the area before settling in here at my yogi home :)
Give it a try, first class is free, and I promise you won’t regret it!

Stadium Fitness Yoga is one awesome studio. They are a yoga studio for the active and athletic who want to have a yoga practice that makes you stronger. Prior to taking classes here, I hated yoga but found I really needed it to complement my running and improve my flexibility. These classes totally changed my perception of yoga and even inspired me to go on a 4-​day yoga retreat just after taking my first couple classes (1^st class is free!). I live just down the street and whenever I feel like treating myself, I stroll over to stadium fitness to get a mood boost. All the teachers are great: Hannah, Katie, Emily, Nadine. Not one class has been bad yet. Hannah’s classes are my favorite: not too fast, not too slow, just perfect.
Suggestions: it’s ‘warm’ yoga, not crazy 100 degrees but you’ll definitely be sweating once you start moving. Bring a towel, water, and an open mind.
Keep it up Stadium Fitness!

Heated power vinyasa is absolutely addictive.
If you take the class with Katie, be sure to bring a THICK and HEAVY hand towel and prepare to SWEAT!
If you have yoga addiction like I do, you simply enjoy the sweat… head to toe, chin to the mat, drip, fly, POUR!
Love challenges? Crow, handstand, and possibly flying pigeon are waiting for you.
Overwhelmed? You know you can always breathe and child-​pose.
Whatever level you are at, it is likely that you walk out of this stadium feeling glorious.

Love love love this place! I’ve been looking for a heated, but not bikram, yoga studio in Pasadena and my prayers have been answered by Stadium Fitness Yoga. The instructors I’ve had have all been appropriately challenging, encouraging, and friendly. The classes have all been beautifully taught, are modifiable for all levels, and provide a sense of intimacy and one-​on-​one instruction even when there is a higher amount of people in the class.
Not only do the instructors make the class fun and put lots of thought into their crafted yoga flows, but they offer lots of suggestions about technique and form (which I sometimes feel is neglected in power yoga classes). This is a great studio to improve and challenge your practice!
